Biography

I have an early background in civil and structural engineering; however the advent of CAD and GIS systems in the late 1980’s made my manual draughtsmanship skills less relevant, and at that point I pursued a new career path within the field of Information Technology.

I graduated with a BSc(hons) in Computer Science from University of Glamorgan in 1997, undertaken part-time whilst working for Hyder IT. I initially joined the University of Glamorgan in 2000 to undertake development work on the FACET project. After a brief interlude with an external software development company working on large scale e-commerce systems, I rejoined the University of Glamorgan in January 2007 as a member of the Hypermedia Research Unit within the Department of Computing and Mathematical Sciences, Faculty of Advanced Technology. Following completion of the STAR project (in collaboration with English Heritage Centre for Archaeology), and the PERTAINS project (in collaboration with MIMAS, University of Manchester), more recently I undertook research and development work for the STELLAR project.

Teaching and research related activities

I have undertaken lectures and tutorials on the subjects of event driven programming, semantic web and resource description framework, also providing assistance and advice on a number of ongoing BSc and PhD projects. I was an invited speaker at the 2010 Eurovoc conference, hosted by the EU Publications Office in Luxembourg. I was a member of the International Program Committee for the Dublin Core 2011 conference held in The Hague, Netherlands.
